brahmins coffee bar is one of the few ~5 rated places in bangalore. is is a small corner place in basavanagudi which is the cause of traffic jam in the area ;).
there is board or hoarding which guides you, but you can keep a watch on the sound of tea glasses jingle - that'll lead you to brahmins coffee bar
here a coffee costs 16 rs & its an art preparing that coffee. i have tried idly & kesari bath as well. idly is very soft & amazing with the spicy chutney they pour on it. one best thing is that you get plenty of chutney here as there is one guy sitting in one corner only to serve chutney and he is super busy always. they do not serve sambar. kesari bath is not very sweet & not oily too. its cooked to the perfection with right amount of sweetness & spices.
there are only limited items on the menu - idly, vada, kesari bath, khara bath, tea/coffee/ milk - & thats it.
the place is always crowded, but you do not feel that as there are no chairs & very limited no of tables to stand & eat. so people grab their items, eat silently & leave.
this is a must try place if you happen to visit this area. it is 500m away from national college metro station.
